When a cost-minimizing firm is faced with an increase in the relative price of labour, it adjusts its factor usage so as to increase the marginal product of labour relative to the marginal product of capital. use more of both capital and labour per unit of output. increase the marginal product of capital relative to the marginal product of labour. use more labour per unit of output than before. maintain the previous usage of labour.

'Why does a profit-maximizing firm hire workers up to the point where the wage equals the value of marginal product? Show that this condition is identical to the one that requires a profit maximizing firm to produce the level of output where the price of the output equals the marginal cost of production:'
